Hum. Well, hopefully NDA will get lifted soon, I really want to see the real stats and such on this thing. >_<
A full review from TTL is also definitely something I'm excited for, you just know he's probably already learned a fair bit about this and may just be jumping with glee to release the video. :P
Depends on whether we are going to see alternative air coolers or not, whether it's worth the price difference over a GTX 690. If there are non-reference cooler models like the Windforce and DCUII, a 900 dollar price would probably be acceptable, as with a GTX 690 you are pretty much going to have to get a water block for it since there are only a few models and they are all reference coolers (intentionally designed for enthusiasts to liquid cool obviously). Not having to buy a 200 dollar water block for a 900 dollar card would be handy, and easy enough to deal with until there are water blocks available as well because reference coolers generally suck the big one.
Still don't see the hardon people have for aftermarket coolers this generation. If the Titan has a shoddy cooler it'd be one thing, but the stock ones this generation have been quite good.
It was already stated that the Titan will most likely be like the 690 and not come with custom air coolers. Frankly, the 690's air cooler was amazing, says everyone, including Cyanotical, so... I wouldn't be surprised if NVidia made a good one for Titan!
this is the Tesla it is supposedly based on:
that heatsink is capable of keeping the card cool through long hours of full 100% use, while i doubt titan will use the same shroud, the OEM cooler is more than enough for gaming
I rather hope the connectors will be where shown on the cards there, too. That'd be nice, having them on the 'front' of it. Also, the Tesla card only uses 6+6 pin? Here's hoping the Titan's either 6+6 or 6+8.

And I hope that EK to boot can make a single-slot waterblock for this. That'll depend on the connectors though; if they're stacked I suspect they won't.
Yeah, totally! We all know how awesome tacky things are!

Last night as I went to bed I was thinking... 'holy shit. We have not even brought up what the likely power draw will be!'
So what do you guys think? I mean, 2x6 pins means it can't be that much. Doesn't that equal out to only 150 watts?

well normal tesla uses 235W iirc so depending on overclock 250-275 would be reasonable.
